After Il o'clock, when the dividends were announced of IA for Canada Southern for the half year, 2 per cent. for Michigan Central and per cent for Lake Shore, there was some selling and a further decline. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western dividend for the quarter was am nounced at IA per cent It was also stated that New York Central's quarterly dividend. which would in all probability be declared to- morrow, would be per cent. At midday prices were irregularly changed. some of the list showing trifiing advances aud others similar declines. The market was extremely dull after midday and the fluctuations slight.

It's Belief That E1C0er bIOOOSne0 or
 Abject Submission Will be the Inevit-
 able Outcome-Other Foreign News.
 LONDON, Dec 31.-The conviction is rap. idly solidifying that the already strained re- lations between the various European pow CTS with one another are fast becoming un- bearable, and that the irksome ties ana bar riers must soon be swept aside, with the in- evitable consequence of bloodshed. The Standard, discussing the situation in an ex- ceedingly serious strain, concludes that there must be an armed struggle on the continent in the near future, or else there must be on the part of the weaker powers an abject submission to the will of the stronger. Nothing in the nature of middle course, The Standard believes, will suffice, while @ continuance of the present state of things must necessarily lead to the bankruptcy of the leading powers, both in bone and sinew and finance.

A Half-Breed's Many Crimes.

PIERRE, D. T., Dec. 31.-For months degree of mystery has surrounded the move ments of John La Blant, a Sioux Indian half-breed, whose ranch is at Willow Creek. La Blant's ranch was stopping place in the Back Hills for travellers during the early days. Many people who left Pierre for the hills were never heard from after leaving the city. A few days ago La Blant was de- tected in stealing cattle, and he left for parts unknown. A thorough investigation of the premises has been made, and in one bedroom, ill front of the bed, was observed an opening, or trap door. The opening under the trap was twelve feet deep and fourteen feet square. An examination of the cavern revealed the skeletons of twelve grown human beings and two smaller ones, supposed to be women or large-sized boys. There was also an iron bar about two feet in length, which it is supposed the fend used to murder his victims after he had dropped them down.
